If I've learned anything in these past months since having our daughter, it’s that time goes by too fast. How do we enjoy what comes and goes so quickly? I remember my own childhood and thinking a day lasted forever,...

I had my first daughter when I was a whopping 19 years old. I was married right after high school, and was divorced by the time I was 21 (10/10 would not recommend). I left my first marriage without...

If your blonde haired self and your dirty blonde husband go in to the hospital to deliver a baby, and the nurse hands you a red head, you might be a little shocked. If you feel a little shocked, you...
